The aviation industry is rapidly evolving due to shifting travel trends, higher safety standards, and the growing demand for flexible operations. In this dynamic environment, aircraft chartering from light jets to narrow-body and wide-body aircraft has become an increasingly preferred solution for group travel.
In Sri Lanka, as the leading ground support partner, we ensure that every charter aircraft movement is managed with the highest standards of professionalism and operational excellence.
Rising Demand for Group Travel via Charter Aircraft
1. Navigating Global Travel Uncertainty
Commercial airlines continue to face changing schedules, route cancellations, operational disruptions, and evolving regulatory requirements. These uncertainties create significant challenges for travel agencies, tour operators, corporate entities, and government delegations.
Private charters offer predictable and flexible alternatives, including customizable departure times, direct point-to-point routes, aircraft selection tailored to group size, and specialized onboard services. From smaller jets for VIP delegations to larger passenger aircraft for tourist groups, private charters provide reliability when commercial flights cannot.
2. Enhanced Safety for Organized Group Travel
Health-conscious travellers and organisations increasingly prefer travelling in well-organised groups. Group charters minimise exposure to the general public while simplifying transportation for both passengers and organisers.
Private charters ensure dedicated aircraft and supervised handling at every touchpoint, delivering peace of mind and a seamless travel experience.
3. Supporting Destination-Based Tourism
As interest grows in multi-country tours and specialized itineraries, private charters offer unmatched convenience, particularly for destinations lacking direct scheduled connectivity. Mid-sized passenger aircraft are increasingly used for regional group travel during peak seasons, providing flexibility and efficiency for tour organisers and travellers alike.
Our Expertise in Managing Large-Group Aircraft Charters
We contribute significantly to the smooth operation of every aircraft, whether a six-seater jet or a mid-size passenger aircraft. Our expertise spans the entire operational chain, offering comprehensive support for every charter.
1. End-to-End Ground Coordination
We manage all operational arrangements for smooth arrivals, turnarounds, and departures. This includes requesting convenient parking bay allocations, ground support coordination, ramp supervision, equipment and services such as GPU, ASU, potable water and lavatory services, and facilitation for both crew and passengers. Every process is synchronized to ensure efficiency and safety.
2. Fuel Coordination
Refuelling is a critical element in charter operations, particularly with fluctuating global fuel prices. We ensure priority fuel arrangements, transparent coordination between aircraft operators and suppliers, safety-focused supervision, and efficient turnaround management. Whether for light jets or mid-sized passenger aircraft, timely fuelling is guaranteed to keep schedules on track.
3. VIP and Group Passenger Management
Group charters often require additional coordination. We assist with fast-track passenger facilitation, special guest handling, and liaising between tour operators, local handling agents, and airport authorities. Our goal is to provide seamless service for every passenger, from VIPs to large tour groups.
4. Crew Support and Operational Assistance
A well-supported crew ensures smoother flights. We provide crew transport, hotel coordination, flight plan filing, NOTAM support through local control towers, and assistance with permits and documentation when required. Our team is available around the clock to support airline crews during their stay in Sri Lanka.
5. Managing Special Requirements for Large Groups
Large groups chartering mid-size to large aircraft require extra attention. We manage high volumes of baggage loading and unloading, catering for passengers and crew, precise passenger movement timing, and tight turnaround schedules. Our experience minimises delays and operational gaps, ensuring flawless service.
